Pittwater Online News:
The Terms of Reference for the NSW Parliament Inquiry into Safety and Quality of Health Services provided by Northern Beaches Hospital are now available on the Committees webpage.
Pittwater MP Jacqui Scruby, following on from her statement last week, spoke in the NSW Parliament on Tuesday November 18 2025, stating:
''I cannot be clearer when I say the perception of Northern Beaches Hospital is that it is failing the people of the northern beaches. Family after family have told me that if they are in trouble, they will move on from Northern Beaches Hospital and go directly to Royal North Shore Hospital instead. The hospital is a public-private partnership that has an inherent conflict—a for-profit entity delivering public health services.
''Recent devastating stories covered in the media of parents who have lost their children during treatment at Northern Beaches Hospital include Elouise and Danna Massa, who lost their beautiful baby boy, Joe, when he was two years old; and Leah Pitman and Dustin Atkinson, who only a couple of weeks ago lost their baby girl, Harper. These families want accountability to make sure that tragedies like this never happen again.
